Largemouth Bass
If you're after Largemouth Bass near Fair Grove, Missouri, you're in luck. The area offers several smaller lakes and ponds that hold decent populations. While Fellows Lake is a popular option a bit further away, focus on smaller, less pressured waters closer to Fair Grove. These often hold surprisingly good bass. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. During the summer, target deeper water and shaded areas. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective. A local tip: many of these lakes have limited access, so be sure to obtain permission before fishing on private property. Also, pay attention to water clarity; stained water often calls for darker-colored lures, while clear water requires more natural presentations. The bass in these smaller lakes can be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different retrieves and presentations to find what works.
